ISO27001 Certification
In 2020, Zenitech proudly achieved ISO 27001 certification, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to information security excellence. This internationally recognised standard demonstrates our dedication to protecting the valuable information assets that form the foundation of our business operations.
ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring it remains secure through a comprehensive framework of policies, procedures, and controls. The standard requires organisations to identify information security risks, implement appropriate safeguards, and continuously monitor and improve their security posture.
The significance for Zenitech
Achieving ISO 27001 certification represents far more than regulatory compliance for Zenitech – it’s a strategic business advantage that touches every aspect of our operations:
Enhanced customer trust and competitive edge: In today’s evolving digital landscape, clients are rightfully and increasingly concerned about information security measures. Our ISO 27001 certification provides reassurance that sensitive data is protected by internationally recognised standards, giving us a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Contractual excellence: Information security isn’t just best practice for us – it’s a contractual obligation to our customers. ISO 27001 certification ensures we meet and exceed these requirements, strengthening our client relationships and opening doors to larger, more prestigious projects.
Business growth and stability: The certification supports our growth, helping to create better opportunities for our community and financial stability. It demonstrates to stakeholders that we operate with the highest standards of professionalism and security awareness.
Comprehensive protection: Our ISMS protects information across three critical constructs – Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. This ensures that information is accessible only to authorised personnel, remains unmodified without proper authority, and is available when needed for business operations.
At Zenitech, we recognise that information security is a collective responsibility. Every team member, employee or contractor, plays a vital role in maintaining our security standards. Our certification reflects the dedication of our entire community working together toward common goals while handling information responsibly.
Internal training sessions at Zenitech benefit both the organisation and its employees by enhancing their understanding of threats and vulnerabilities, as well as equipping them with international best practices for preventing and mitigating security risks and incidents.
This achievement also reinforces our position as a trusted technology partner, capable of handling sensitive client information with the utmost care and professionalism. It validates our approach to information security as not just a technical requirement, but as a fundamental business principle that enables sustainable growth and success.
Update
In 2020, we obtained the initial certification on ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (ISO 27001), the version which was applicable back then.
The international standard got revised and republished to better fit the modern-day necessities, in 2022, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 came out.
We did not lose any time, and 10 months after this more up to date and rigorous certification came out, we made the upgrade during the certification renewal process. An ISO certification has a lifecycle of three years with yearly assurance audits.
The timelines are as follows:
- 2020 initial certification
- 2023 first-time renewal with upgrade to the latest version of the standard
- 2026 the second renewal will take place
